Introduction

Whirlpool Corp. released this belt driven Maytag washer in late 2010 as a lower cost energy saving washing machine. Most of these newer Maytag Centennial washing machines begin their model numbers with MVW. Earlier versions of the Maytag Centennial washing machines where well built but had very different washer mechanics, Those Centennial washer models usually start with MTW.

Here is a list of some of the models for this Maytag Centennial belt drive washer repair guide...

Obviously this causes some confusion when your looking for washer repair and diagnostic help! The best way to tell without looking under your washer's skirt for a belt is a bank of 6 status lights on the console like the picture to the right. more expensive models may have a 7th 'soak' or 'prewash' light, but diagnostic, troubleshooting, and repair is the same.

I want to like this new style of Maytag Centennial washer... However, many of this washers mechanical and electrical parts are already developing a reputation for problems. In addition the Maytag Centennial washer is also very slow to fill and wash due to the load sensing process and has fairly noisy lock and motor functions compared with earlier washers that are no longer available.
Fortunately, if you can correctly diagnose your washer's problem, most repairs on the new Maytag Centennial fairly simple do yourself!

Troubleshooting Common Maytag Centennial Washer Problems

There are a few common problems with the Maytag Centennial washer…

Washer Drive Pulley Problems:

In most cases the washer will basically work normally except for a horrible noise when the washer is washing or spinning. The washer's drive pulley can become loose and slip down causing a loud, fast ticking sound whenever the motor is running. In extreme cases the washer's belt and/or motor pulley can be damaged as a result. If you catch it early, simply add some thread lock onto the pulley nut and tighten it back on.

A loose pulley sounds something like this...

Sound Description: Fast agitation function, slow agitation function, then spin function

Washer Actuator and Tub Sensor Problems:

This washer sensor problem usually will show up in the form of a fault code like F7E1, F7E5, or F7E7. and the washer will not start or run properly.

Washer lid lock Problems:

The lid latch has been a sore spot on this washer type. Most often washer lid latch problems result in the washer not starting or a fault code such as F5E1, F5E2, or F5E3. The washer's lid strike attached to the lid can also swell with rust and not properly operate the lock.

Centennial Washer Balance Problems:

The Maytag Centennial washer's tub is suspended on 4 suspension rods located on the outer corners of the washer's tub. The spring portion of these tub suspension rods have been known to become soft and allow the tub to bounce, leading to the washer regularly going off balance and banging the inside of the washer during spin. To check the washer's suspension, press down quickly on each side of the washer's drum. The Centennial washer's drum should quickly jump back to it's original position and stop when released and not bounce. If the washtub bounces or feels particularly soft you may need to replace the suspension kit.

Washer Gearcase Problems:

Not as common as some other washer issues, but much more costly is a bad center bearing. Loud, even, grinding with tub movement are commonly caused by a bad bearing that is inside the gearcase. It is not a terribly difficult repair but the part required is costly. If you are experiencing a noise like I described always check for a loose drive pulley before assuming its the gearcase causing the noise.
